Opening odds for England vs. Norway in the FIFA 2026 World Cup

Norway advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Cup with a shocking 2-1 upset against one of the favorites, Brazil. They got here on merit too, as they outplayed the Brazilians. Erling Haaland did what Erling Haaland does, scoring twice to send his country to their first-ever World Cup quarter-final. The opponent? England.

England beat Mexico 3-2 in the Azteca in the Round of 16 in what was an instant classic. The game had everything. Goals, controversial VAR decisions, a red card and penalties. Somehow, someway, they survived at the end to advance. The English are used to making deep runs in major tournaments, and it looks like this World Cup is no different.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, England opens as the favorite, listed at -105 on the 90-minute moneyline. Norway’s odds of winning in regulation are +280, and the two teams being level after 90 minutes is +250. England to advance outright is at -195, while Norway is the underdog at +155. The over/under on total goals starts at 2.5, with the under being slightly favored at -115.
